Copies of police reports and accident reports are available for a fee of $5 for reports up to six pages and $0.50 per page after six pages. Anyone wishing to obtain a copy of a police report or accident report must complete an Information Request Form. Reports can be obtained in person, by mail or by fax. It will be possible to receive reports via email in the future.

Persons who have been arrested and are pending a trial may not obtain copies of the police reports without filing a motion for discovery in the appropriate court.

Employers may request local criminal history arrest data from the Wayne Police Department by supplying the full name and date of birth of the person on whom the request is made. A Social Security number is helpful, but not required. The person on whom the request is made must sign a release of information form before any criminal history data will be released. For a more extensive criminal history search you may contact the Nebraska State Patrol at (402) 471-4545.

The Police Department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, including holidays and weekends. You may come to the Police Department in person to pay parking tickets, request services and get copies of police reports at any time.

On the first Monday of every month the sirens are tested at 10:00 am to ensure the City that they are in proper working order. If the siren sounds at any other time, please take cover and tune to local media sources to verify the purpose of the siren. Please do not call the police. If it is an actual emergency, the Communications Center staff will be extremely busy dispatching emergency rescue services. There are a limited number of incoming 9-1-1 lines, and many times the Department is flooded with calls asking what's going on with the sirens. When this happens, true emergency calls are not able to get through.

There are many circumstances in which the department may be required to impound vehicles. If the department had cause to impound your vehicle, a record of the incident would be on file with the Wayne PD. Contact them with a vehicle description including the license plate number at 375-2626 to inquire about the vehicle.

Before a towed vehicle is released, the owner will need to provide identification and pay all applicable impound and storage fees. You will also be required to pay any outstanding parking violations owed before the vehicle is released.
